Nortenos use which imagery?

Nortenos use which imagery?

• A. Three dots and a dove
• B. Stars and stripes
• C. Four dots, Huelga bird (the Eagle) and use Red
• D. A crown and pearls

Answer: (C)

Norteños are identified by a specific set of imagery and color that signal their gang affiliation. The combination of four dots, the Huelga bird (the Eagle), and the color red is distinctive to them. The four dots show up in tattoos and symbols tied to their Northern California origins and prison history, while the Huelga bird ties to their chosen emblematic imagery, and red is the color they use to represent loyalty to the group. This set of elements helps distinguish Norteños from other groups, whose symbols and colors differ (for example, other imagery or colors are associated with different gangs).
